Not being the person who called "diediedie", but being in total agreement
with the OP, "diediedie" should represent a "burn notice" from the IETF to
all implementers:

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

Clearly many TLS stacks still implement MD5, and there are no TLS police to
arrest the people who are ignoring the IETF RFCs and still shipping
diediedie-filled crypto, but if we want any modicum of security want any
sort of security guarantees from TLS, all stacks *MUST* abandon MD5 in its
entirety.
